Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, Oct. 26, in Alexandria

The Alexandria Police Department will host the sixth Prescription Drug Take Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Public Safety Complex, 1000 Bolton Ave.

The Drug Enforcement Administration will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and local law enforcements agencies focused on removing potentially dangerous controlled substance from medicine cabinets.

Residents are urged to bring expired or no-longer-needed prescription medications so they can be disposed of properly. Officials will also provide information to the public about the potential for abuse of medications.

When the results of the prior Take Back Days are combined, the DEA and its state, local and tribal law enforcement and community partners have removed more than 2 million pounds of medication from circulation.
